Updated subsidence maps released with standardized legends

Arizona Dept. of Water Resources has updated all the
land subsidence maps on ADWR’s website so that they are all using the same
color scale. Project manager Brian Conway expects this will help eliminate any confusion that people
are having when comparing maps for one or more area and when looking at
different periods of time. There are 213 land subsidence maps available
for download as pdfs. [Right, interactive subsidence map viewer. Yellow boxes outline basins with maps available. ADWR]

He has also added land subsidence rate maps for each land
subsidence feature and there are a total of 45 land subsidence rate maps
available for download. The land subsidence rate maps also use a same
color interval.
